    SDM has a TERRIBLE return policy on electronics - as in, they don't allow them, with rare exception (unopened boxes, sealed, and even then there is no guarantee that they won't make you deal with a manufacturer instead). So the short answer would be, I wouldn't do it even if you could do what you are trying to do above... but I can't answer your specific question.

    I bought my Nexus at Shoppers and it has worked great. And considering it's the only way I could afford it I'd do it again in a heart beat.

    I took my dad and got the senior's discount, redeemed and paid $44 out of pocket. As long as your total is still $100 pop before taxes you should get your points no problem.

    We purchased the wii u through Shoppers for the kids at Christmas... thankfully no problems. And yes, I believe you could do all the things you are asking about... go on seniors day for the discount (I have read somewhere that they sometimes cap the amount of the discount... but could be wrong there so take that with a grain of salt... for some reason $50 is in my mind... but then people were saying that they received more than a $50 discount so???), pay with points and if you are paying at least $100 out of pocket I don't see why you couldn't use the mailer coupon. Nice plan!

    P.S. Don't forget to fill your gift card for the amount you will be spending for even more points!

    What info did you hear about them getting the deluxe? None around here seem to know anything about it.

    And I was holding out to do what you are planning on.

    Only 1 difference with me. check with your credit card company.
    Lots offer an extra year warantee on electronics.
    I will be paying with my CC.

    Im not worried about their return policy, I have never had a problem with something purchased there
    and I have only ever heard great things about nintendo.

    Yes. The maximum discount is $50. Also if it's on "sale" you usually can't get the senior's discount. Pretty much anything in the flyer is considered "sale" even if it is just the regular price.

    Sometimes the max isn't actually capped at $50. When I got the Nexus the cashier told me it was limited to $50, but $54 actually came off.
    And it never hurts to check the prices, even if they are listed in the flyer. Again, my Nexus was listed in the flyer, but it was more for an advertisement that they were selling the product, as the price listed in the flyer was regular price, not sale price.

    FYI tmrw there is no discount, just the special bonus redemption like last time. I remember there were quite a few ppl that got confused when they did this last time awhile ago.

    This is a great idea, but use the 20x mailer instead of the 16,000 points since you'll get about 4,000 more points!

    While the flyer sometimes says that the max senior discount you can get is $50, I got $90 once when I purchased a camera at $450. I also redeemed $170 and got 30,000 bonus points for spending over $150. It was a great deal!! Good luck with your purchase!

    There's generally no need to worry about Nintendo products, even with Shopper's terrible electronics return policy. Nintendo's Customer Service is excellent and if you ever do get a lemon (rare as it is), they will pay for the shipping both ways when you send it in for repairs.
